Did not read all responses but I remember my very first period. It was very very light. I could have gone the entire first period without anything. For a few days the toilet paper would be slightly pink like you said but undies clear. Then a tiny bit in undies for a few days and that was it. A month later however there was no doubt. Poor girl with the timing of it.

Btw - I started mine in 6th grade, and the day before I had dark discharge. Like old blood. Only I was Terrified bc I was watching an Oprah episode about feminine hygiene and types of discharge. And dark was supposed to be really bad. Lol. I thought I was going to die.

Yeah I didn't start until 13, almost 14, but I was a competitive gymnast at the time and that usually delays things. The rest of the women in my family started btwn 10-11. Her dad's side I don't know, but the girls do develop young, so I am guessing they start their periods young as well, but haven't asked.

Anyway, made her pee again. A little pink on the TP again.

I was a normal developing kid and I started at 9.5. I honestly expected dd to start long LONG before now.

I had mine at 11 and was TERRIFIED. I approached my mom but she was too busy so I asked my stepdad and he showed me. He was so flustered and he had no idea what to do but he did tell me it was my period (without looking just by me saying I was bleeding). He then went and got one of my mom's underwear and two of her pads and demonstrated how to put on a pad. Just by looking at the pad (IT WAS HUGE) I told him it was too big so he took a scissor and cut it in half. LOL! He told me to go to the bathroom and do as he had demoed. So that's what I did for months.

One day my mom was going through my bag found half a pad and was furious. Right before she was about to hit me for being wasteful she screamed at me "didn't I tell you how to use these!" And I told her no that my step dad had. She didn't do or say anything and stormed off but soon after I noticed she started purchasing smaller pads for me.

I hope I do a better job with my DD but she is currently 23 months so I have plenty of time.
